That's why Manulife Financial offers two different methods that you can use to select investments. You will need to check first to see which fund options are available in your plan. OPTION 1: Choose an Asset Allocation Fund If you do not have the time, interest, or knowledge to build and maintain an appropriate portfolio of investment funds, or if you want to take advantage of leading-edge asset allocation theory and top fund managers, consider taking advantage of one of Manulife's Asset Allocation Funds. Each fund is actually a portfolio of underlying funds that offers diversification by asset class, investing style, fund manager, and market capitalization. Each Asset Allocation Fund has been professionally designed to offer the highest potential level of return for the specified level of risk. In addition, the funds are regularly re-balanced to ensure that they always maintain the appropriate asset mix. Simply choose the Asset Allocation Fund that matches your investment style: conservative, moderate, balanced, growth, or aggressive. Then sit back and let Manulife do the rest! OPTION 2: Choose funds from a comprehensive list If you enjoy selecting and monitoring your investments, Manulife also offers a wide selection of fund managers and market-based funds, plus a number of fixed-rate investment options. We use a rigorous process when selecting and monitoring these funds so that you can be confident that your funds and fund managers are among the best in their class.
